With over 80 years of combined litigation experience in various areas, we believe mediation presents the best resolution for the parties involved.
As an attorney, you often win cases you should not have won and have lost cases where your client should have prevailed. This uncertainty, increasing costs and declining ability to get a case to trial is the driving force behind our desire to be effective as lawyers in helping parties resolve disputes.
